How Online Reservations Work

San Francisco Instant Booking is one of over 100 websites in the popular Instant World Booking travel network. Online reservations are secure, fast, and easy with Instant World Booking. Just as important, both hotels and travelers enjoy using our service. This is because we have developed a simple yet powerful set of tools that make travel reservations a simple and low cost experience for everyone.

2 Great Ways to Reserve

We offer you 2 great ways to make your reservation online. First, our instant confirmation method gives you the convenience and peace of mind of having an immediate reservation. Just select your hotel or hostel accommodation, pay a small deposit online, and that's it. You receive immediate confirmation for your reservation. Our instant reservations have the reputation of being one of the most reliable and secure reservation methods worldwide. To get started, simply look for hotels that display Book Instantly or IWB.

We also offer a second excellent method of making reservations. This is our request method reservation. Request method reservations are a unique offering by Instant World Booking, since most reservation services have the limitation of only offering one reservation method. While the process for confirming an online request can be quick, it is not as fast as an instant confirmation. Since some hotels and hostels don't keep an online calendar which is used for instant confirmation, we offer you the option of submitting an online request directly to the hotel. This allows us to offer many hundreds of unique properties that cannot be offered for reservation anywhere else. You have the benefit of searching many more hotels, including some which cannot be reserved on any other service.

So how do you know which method to choose? When searching our website for accommodation, look first for properties that display Book Instantly or IWB. This indicates that a property is available for instant confirmation online. Other properties will display Online Request, which indicates that a property is available to accept requests submitted through our website. Select the properties you are interested in, and follow the instructions on your screen to make a reservation.

Our system offers many little benefits. For example, you may be interested in a hotel that features instant confirmation, and their calendar returned no availability for your specific dates. In this situation, our system will offer you the possibility of submitting an online request directly to the hotel. They will be happy to respond with availability if they have it, and are able to accommodate you.

Secure, Fast, and Easy

San Francisco Instant Booking offers the greatest security for reservations made on the internet today. Our website uses the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with the industry's highest available encryption key length of 256-bits. This means your confidential information, as well as your credit or debit card transaction, is at the highest level of privacy and security globally available on the internet. But, security also means reliability. Thousands of hotels rely on Instant World Booking for their online reservation processing. They know we are a leader in online travel technology that provides services they cannot obtain from other providers. These services include not only online reservations but marketing and payments as well. Many hotels use our booking engine and payment collections to power their own websites.

Speed is an important consideration when making travel plans. You need to be able to search quickly and reliably, and then reserve the dates you want with instant confirmation. Instant World Booking offers all of this and more. Simplicity is also important to our travelers. Getting the information you need should be easy, and completing your reservation should be even easier. When it comes to online travel search, we offer a variety of ways to search for the lodging you want right on our website. Once you have found some locations that interest you, we provide translated information about each property in more than a dozen languages. A multitude of photos are available to show you exactly what each property is like (we offer each of our properties the ability to upload an unlimited quantity of photos). Travel reviews are also available to help you decide.

When you are ready to reserve, no complicated registrations are necessary. You don't even need a member ID. When you're confirming a reservation, we'll ask you for a few details about your reservation. You can also enter your email address. If you didn't have a user ID before, your email address will become your new user id, so you can return to review the details of your reservation.
